At last Theodore peeped inside the envelope that Merlena Bear had just given him. He could hardly believe his eyes. It was full of little white cards! Carefully Theodore took them out and looked
at each one, his smile getting broader and broader all the time as he read
them. "Merlena," he said, "What is all this about? Each little card has a name and address of
one of your friends at your party." Merlena clapped her paws in delight and
laughed at Theodore's puzzled face. Then
she explained. "My friends all enjoyed
meeting you and hearing about your travel plans so much that they asked me to
give you their addresses. It is an
invitation from each one for you to visit them when you get to where they
live." Theodore felt deeply touched and
put his head on his paws for a moment. Then he said, "That is so very,very
kind of them all. I will try to visit
everyone. Thank you, Merlena."
